Here is another page from my sketchbook I have been working on. I have been battling a bout of food poisoning and have not really had much energy. It is so nice that sketching in watercolors does not require a lot of physical energy. If you can hold your brush and a thought, you're in business. If you noticed, I have been practicing people a lot more then in the past. Most of you probably remember my post on my desires to start to do story telling with my paintings. For me, it begins and ends with painting convincing figures. Once again, I have no desires to make them photo realistic, but I do want them to be painterly and believable. As I sketch these figures, my mind starts to wander about what types of situations these people are in. Where are they going? What are their intentions and so forth. I am not sure, but once I get good enough and consistent enough with figures in my paintings, I believe I will add them to most of my future works. I have always been drawn to art work with people in them and I think many people may feel the same as I do. Like believe that paintings are not just about the aesthetic beauty of the piece, but of combination of the beauty coupled with the story of the painting as well.
